Now women can get 'Jolie' lips in their lunch hour
Tim Stewart7 Apr 2009
WOMEN wanting Angelina Jolie-style "bee-stung" lips are being offered a new cosmetic treatment that can be performed during their lunch hour.
The surgeon behind the enhancement technique, which takes half an hour, claims it makes lips subtly plumped without risking a trout pout.
French cosmetic surgeon Dr Philippe Bellity is starting the treatment at the London Day Surgery Centre in Whetstone, with prices starting at £500, after it proved popular in Paris.
He said: "Lip enhancement has had a bad reputation because of all the trout pouts you see. I have refined the injection technique so that a nice result is guaranteed."
The procedure sees pin-prick injections of a few drops of hyaluronic acid solution into the top layer of the lip just under the skin, avoiding the muscle.

Greetings from the land of reinvention. Ms. Jolie gets her lips genes from Papa Voight. As for most of us, as we age, all our features drop south, even our lips which is why larger lips on older women will continue to look odd regardless of the method of cosmetic enhancement.

I admire Jolie for her acting skills but as regards her lips I am not getting a "tinkle in the winkle"

Was her horrible lips the result of Botox or did she get them from Mrs Voight?

These thick lips are hideous. Why any woman would want them is beyond me.

Refined? But does the procedure still come with a warning that "it will be patently obvious to anyone with even the poorest of eyesight that you have had rubbish injected into bits of your face and that you look quite ridiculous."

Not everyone wants "Jolie" type lips. My husband actually thinks hers are off-putting! Really! cross my heart!
